Just want some advice
Hi everyone! So let me start by saying that I’m 17 and I only use this app for tracking my period and getting advice from you great ladies. I don’t have a lot of friends so your help is so great!
I just had a fight with my mom and her boyfriend. 😞 I don’t have the greatest relationship with them. Her boyfriend is always bullying me and talking down to me and my mom doesn’t see to care as long as he’s happy with her. Makes me really sad.
Her birthday is coming up. When I was out with some friends I found her this Belgian waffle maker. My mom has always wanted one and never had one. So I got it so she could finally have one. The other day her boyfriend Mike called me into my room to show me he got a gift for her too. It’s a waffle maker and it makes four square waffles. I told him that I already got her one for her birthday. He said his was better and it made more waffles at one time. I got a little upset because I told him the one I got was one she’s always wanted. She thinks Belgian waffles are fancy lol. He told me he couldn’t believe that I was being so selfish and being a little brat. After he left my room I even saw my mom waiting at the bottom of the stairs because she had been listening to us talk.
I felt really bad about this and I already had her gift wrapped and decorated with ribbon too. So last night when it was just her and me home she brought up overhearing us. That Mike was really excited about his gift and I really hurt his feelings by being so selfish about things. This made me feel worse. So I went up into my room and got her gift under my bed. I brought it down and I asked her if she could just open mine because I had been so excited about giving it to her. I said she didn’t have to keep it and that I would return it next time I was at the store I bought it. She glared at me and told me I was selfish and she wasn’t playing games with me. So I took it back up stairs and unwrapped it myself.
I wasn’t trying to be a brat or be selfish. I just really thought I got something she really wanted and I was so excited to give it to her. 😞 Is there any way I can make this better and for her to not be so upset with me?
